Top Spin 4

Any other tennis fans in the house around here gonna be picking this up? I've been playing tennis since I was 5, and love playing it probably more than any other sport. I'm a huge Sampras fan, and hate Agassi (bald meth-headed fraud) and cannot wait to tear Agassi apart with Sampras in this game. Tennis games have always been fun for me (and who didn't like Virtua Tennis back in the day?) and I'm sure there are others out there that feel the same. Any takers for some matches online once this game comes out?

Not a huge Roddick fan. He's a colossal underachiever and overhyped player. He actually reminds me a lot of myself (huge serve, hard time finishing out opponents, plays down to his opponents and not up to them) and I hate how I play and wish I was 100x better, so watching him frustrates me lol

America is just so starved for a new tennis star on the men's side that they think above average players (Roddick, Blake, Isner to an extent, etc.) can be superstars, when they don't come close to Nadal or Federer

Agreed.

I've never played, so I will rely on both of you for showing me the ropes.

The more I play the more I like this game. Just moved the difficulty up a bit as I am starting to learn how to move the ball around more and use different shots to keep the AI off balance.

EDIT: Just pre-ordered this and NASCAR The Game 2011 on Amazon. Top Spin 4 has a $20 promotion credit if you order now that will be rewarded upon shipment. Its a free release-date delivery for anyone who takes advantage of this pre-order. Also, the NASCAR game has a similar offer but the credit is only $10.

But the main reason I'm interested right now? The list of players is much more current and relevant to today's game of tennis than Top Spin 4 (which I think will have the better gameplay, I was highly disappointed with Virtua Tennis 3)

ATP Players

Roger Federer

Rafael Nadal

Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray

Juan Martín del Potro

Andy Roddick

Fernando González

Tommy Haas

Philipp Kohlschreiber

Gaël Monfils

Andreas Seppi

WTA Players

Venus Williams

Ana Ivanović

Caroline Wozniacki

Svetlana Kuznetsova

Maria Sharapova

Anna Chakvetadze

Laura Robson

Outside of the Legends players in Top Spin 4, that list shits all over it. I'm pumped to play with Del Potro, Gonzalez, hell even Wozniacki should be fun.
